The Gift
$10, $8 members, $5 students
Steve Roden and Loren Chasse will create a live sound performance using a variety of humble and battery operated electronics; ancient, broken, and modified acoustic instruments; and found objects such as stones, paper, and sand. While the performance will be improvised together, each artist has prepared a graphic score for the other that will remain unseen until the performance begins - hence the title, "The Gift".
